Doubtful? Who on our team can get Flagg? Maybe healthy Tatum? I wouldn’t even guarantee that.
Say he’s “only” Banchero, you’d have him on his rookie deal for 4-5 seasons at least. I don’t know what #1 gets paid per season but I doubt it’s even 25m.
Wemby is going to get cashed out soon. They paid Fox (?). Then add on Tatum’s money. I don’t think they are going to pay out like these bigger markets.
I know KD is the rumor, but he’s nearly out of obscene money levels. Tatum is young enough to be in line for two more contracts bigger than the 60ish he’s getting now. If his health and play holds up like the players are starting to do, into their late thirties, he’ll at least get one more and the next will likely be around what he’s getting now. Money is crazy for players now.
JB is my guy, but even I know it’s a no.
